Those people are not pacifists.

So it looks like CZ is a small country full of people fearing for their safety, and the few people that do have guns use them to kill people.

Those stats make the US look bad too and I'm sure there are 100's of other crime stats that show the US is much worse, but you act like CZ is some perfect utopia with no crime and no gun violence. So, just saying.

i actually dont care much for those lists, i live here, i walk around at night, even drunk girls walk around by night alone. i have not heard from anyone over the last 10 years since my first visit who got in trouble.

besides from 1-2 bar brawls maybe.

but like i said in my earlier post - there places/cities here in CZ that are certainly not the same. I would not recommend to walk around drunk at night, looking like a tourist, in cities like Decin, Teplice and some others.

But Prague & Brno? No problems.

I don't know if it's been stated in this thread,but if we were able to edit those statistics by removing the ghetto and inner city crime,the US would be one of the safest places on the planet. In Madison, which is over 1/2m in population there is a handful of shootings annually. And those are in the bad part of the city. In Milwaukee there are a couple of homicides every day. Again, in the bad part of the city. If you look at crime stats for the suburbs of nearly every city and smaller town in America, there is very little crime to report.

So let the killing continue !!!!

FACT: 0.1% of all deaths for children between the ages 0-14 are from firearms, 0.6% are from motor vehicles, 5.3% are from being struck in beatings or bludgeoning, 6.0% from poisoning, and 42.6% from suffocation.

* 1997 National Center for Health Statistics National Vital Statistics Report

FACT: 18-20 year olds commit over 23% of all gun murders. None of these criminals are allowed to purchase a handgun due to their age under current law.

* U.S. Treasury and Justice Dept. Report, 1999

FACT: 90% of all violent crime in the U.S. does not involve any gun of any type.

* 1998 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

FACT: Two-thirds of the people that die each year from gunfire are criminals shooting other criminals.

* FBI Uniform Crime Statistics, 1994



FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 per day.

Often the gun is never fired and no blood (including the criminals) is shed.

FACT: Every day, 550 rapes, 1,100 murders, and 5,200 other violent crimes per day are prevented just by showing a handgun. In less than 0.9% of the time is the gun ever actually ever fired.

By the way the cinema where this happened was a GUN FREE ZONE.
The people who restricted the right of the visitors to defend themselves with a gun are the real criminals here.

Also I am sick of those few Americans that keep saying they are entitled to own a gun, this is 2012 not 1939!

No, and here is why:

1) Banning guns does not take them away from criminals, which is exactly why you should be allowed to have one.

2) Guns are not the problem, people are. People are violent / crazy and will use anything at their disposal. I live in a country where guns are difficult to legally obtain. What do the locals do? They build their own one shot guns, they buy expensive 2nd hand guns illegally, and they stab the shit out of people and beat them with clubs. In fact, I've never seen a country where so many people get stabbed. They get stabbed because it is very expensive to get a gun and most people can't afford one.

I'm all for making it more difficult to get one, but that still doesn't stop a loon or a criminal from getting one.

The thing about guns is, they ALL have to be banned and taken away in order for a ban to work. That includes police and the military, who I may add is the #1 supplier of illegal guns to many countries. But if they could somehow dispose of ALL guns in the world, I would support that 110%.

Truth be told, if I want to kill you, there are lots of ways to do it. I could silently shoot 10+ people with a compound bow from the back row of a movie theater before anyone even knew what was going on. Crazy people are crazy and are going to use whatever weapon they have at their disposal.

I think the question to ask is, why do these people snap? Not should we ban guns.
